Hotellit aamiaisella kohteessa Yamanochi

Minulla oli iso tatami huone sivu-istuintila ja sukellus sekä etuhuone. Olin kolme herkullista japanilainen ateria ryokan, jotka tarjoilivat kohtelias eleganssia. Kaksi sisäinen onsen kylpyhuone oli ilo käyttää päivän jälkeen hiihtoa. Henkilökunta oli tietoinen siitä, miten tulla bussit ja ehdotti parhaita ravintoloita päivinä, joita en syönyt ryokanissa.  Senshinkan Matsuya sijaitsee keskellä.Shibu Onsen kaupunki  vieressä kolme julkista paskaa. En voinut pyytää parempaa oleskelua!

Wanted a traditional ryokan experience and this ryokan ticked all the boxes! Service was so personable, and the food was so so delicious. Rooms were of decent size as well. Can’t recommend this enough. FYI that there is a pickup service from Yudanaka station to the ryokan. They can send you to the monkey park / Yudanaka station in the morning. If you’re going to the snow monkey park, the ryokan can send your luggage to Yudanaka train station (free) so that you can pick it up when you’re heading from the snow monkey park back to Yudanaka.

From the moment you enter Kokuya Ryokan, be prepared to leave the real world behind and fully immerse yourself in the experience. You swap your shoes for slippers at the door and don’t see them again until you leave. You will receive a warm welcome from polite and gentle-mannered staff, get taken up to your beautiful room, and once you’ve changed into your traditional yukata, it’s time to let the relaxation begin. The multi-course dinner will probably be one of the best meals you’ve had in your life, with many unusual textures and flavors to try. The futons are comfortable, and your room is kept toasty warm. There are even skincare products to keep you pampered and moisturized between soaks in the onsen. Honestly, you won’t even need to open your suitcase while you’re there. The staff will take you through all the logistics when you arrive, but there are some things that might be useful to know in advance. - The ryokan sends a shuttle to Yudanaka station at about 15:00 to collect new arrivals, so time your journey to take advantage of this benefit. - The ryokan also offers guests the opportunity to catch a shuttle to the Snow Monkey Park immediately after breakfast the next morning. - After you leave the ryokan, they will take your luggage down to the coffee shop opposite the station, so you don’t need to worry about those logistics. - Trains from Yudanaka back to Nagano leave at 12:30 and 15:30. - The ryokan itself has several private onsens that you can reserve for a 45-minute slot. Because the onsens are on the property, you can go in with your partner or travel companions regardless of gender. It’s a boutique hotel, so you don’t have to worry about not getting access to all the onsens you want. - The ryokan is on the main road of the Shibu Onsen town. The hotel will give you a key so you can wonder down the main road, visiting any of the public onsens you wish - however, with so many gorgeous and more private onsens in the hotel itself, you probably won’t have time or the desire for this. - Also, there is a coffee machine in the room! (I was worried about having to survive without coffee, and this turned out to be an unfounded concern). We had an incredible and totally indulgent time at Kokuya. Experiencing a traditional ryokan is a privilege that you should try at least once if you can. And adding the Snow Monkeys in give the trip a double purpose, making it that much more memorable. The only thing that would have made the trip better is if we had been allowed to linger longer over every course of our dinner.

Hotellin nouto- ja palautuspalvelu Yudanakan asemalla antoi erittäin hyvän ensivaikutelman. Vaikka tilat ovat hieman vanhoja, palvelu on erittäin lämmin, huone on erittäin suuri ja siellä on yksityinen kuuma lähde. Joka aamu hotelli myös noutaa asiakkaat ilmaiseksi Snow Monkey Parkiin. Palvelussa oli kuitenkin pieni virhe, jonka kohtasin. Kun kirjauduin sisään, hotelli ilmoitti minulle, että paluuaika Snow Monkey Parkista oli klo 12, mikä oli juuri sopivasti ehtimään 12.30 bussilla takaisin Naganoon. Mutta itse asiassa paluuaika oli 12.30 seuraavana päivänä. Voisin mennä vain seuraavalla bussilla takaisin Naganoon. Bussien pienen määrän vuoksi myöhästyin noin puolitoista tuntia.

性價比超好，早晚餐包括，老闆員工都很有善，會跟父母再嚟，可以ski in out ,酒店會有個老司機手車很好幫你泊車，酒店隔離就係講多啦纜車票店，風景很優美，回酒店可以浸溫泉，多比會有嘢飲提供，有少少似日式club med, 而且酒店嘅裝環都是山頂的花拼成的，非常有心思！而且志賀嘅雪真係好厚滑！

從長野市做長野電鐵1個多小時到湯田中站，出站下坡沿路往河邊走，幾分鐘就到，交通便利。酒店位於湯田中温泉鄉的中心位置，酒店規模不大，歷史悠久。13年對房間等設施進行了裝修，房間比較乾淨衞生。一樓有温泉大浴池，三樓還兩個有獨立的私湯，入住時在前台預約，免費使用半小時。早餐晚餐自助，菜品比較豐富，有長野牛肉火鍋，每人限三片，當地蔬菜蘑菇新鮮不限量。下午五點半前，一樓休息處提供關東煮小吃。酒店前有巴士站，可以去地獄谷野猿公園，看雪猴泡温泉，不過班次少，要提前查好時間。

Shiga Palace Hotel is a great choice for its location alone—set right in the mountains, it offers easy access to the surrounding area and beautiful scenery that really adds to the experience. One of the highlights was the buffet meals. The food was plentiful, varied, and satisfying, making it easy to refuel after a long day of exploring. The rooms were very traditional Japanese style, which felt authentic and fitting for the setting. While simple, they gave a true sense of staying in a classic Japanese hotel. The communal onsen was also a memorable experience—relaxing, cultural, and something everyone should try at least once while visiting Japan. Overall, the location and meals are major pluses, and the traditional rooms and onsen make this hotel a unique and enjoyable stay.

Mostly good experience. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The French restaurant was delicious. And it was great that there was a ski rental and storage right inside the hotel. Added to that, the convenience of skiing right to the lift is heavenly. The bar/ lounge was chill and cozy. However it either seemed there was a shortage of staff, mostly new staff, or both. The mandatory dinner reservations were very restrictive even though when getting there at the reserved time, the restaurant was half empty. And most frustrating was that there was no options for getting any type of food after 8:30. So if you get hungry after that time or want a snack, you better pre buy one of the 3 options of instant noodles from the lobby store (before it closes also).

Hyvin, koska voit valmistaa itse ruokaa. Voit kävellä hiihtokentälle. Käytän tätä paikkaa joka kerta. Lämmintä on myös paras!

We really enjoyed our stay at Shiga Kogen Sunvalley hotel. It's only a 20 mins bus ride from the Snow Monkey Park. The bus stop (S15) is about 100m away but when it's heavily snowing, it could be a little difficult to pull your luggage across the road. During the winter season, there's a free shuttle bus that takes you around the different resorts. The hotel also has ski rentals and the pricing is very reasonable and convenient for hotel guests to pickup and drop-off. The onsite onsen and sauna is clean and well maintained. We had breakfast included - food selection is good with a mix of Western and Japanese cuisine. Dinner required reservation and you have a choice of Japanese set course, or a casual course. Usui and the team really know how to provide great hospitality and we really enjoyed our stay.
